• Sandra was part of a group that were caught by Border Patrol agents after making their way across the Rio Grande river on a raft

The father of the Honduran girl who became the face of the family separation crisis has revealed that he still has not been in touch with his wife or daughter but was happy to learn they are safe.

Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, 32, said that he had not heard from his wife Sandra, 32, who was with his two-year-old daughter Yanela Denise, for nearly three weeks until he saw the image of them being apprehended in Texas.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hernandez, who lives in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, says that he was told on Wednesday by a Honduran official in the US that his wife and child are being detained at a family residential center in Texas but are together and are doing 'fine.'

'You can imagine how I felt when I saw that photo of my daughter. It broke my heart. It's difficult as a father to see that, but I know now that they are not in danger. They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border,' he said.

So this was not someone even claiming political asylum. She is married to a person who has a good job in her home country and is not being threatened by gangs or government oppression. She simply wanted a better life for herself and her child. And then they were never separated as the husband is quoted as saying. This is a clear case of someone wanting to cut to the front of the line plain and simple. That is a criminal offense folks. The child should be sent back to her father and mom should do some time before being deported.

beware of fake news folks

Only an idiot would allow themselves to be taken in by this sort of stuff without looking further into it..
I am glad i did.

So we're still deconstructing a photoshopped picture in order to ignore what's really happening? Party.

I'm baffled why anyone would feel the need to try and indulge in nonsense to defend Donald Trump of all people.

Why not just own it? immigration and the menace of brown people is a huge issue for the right, so isn't this how you alt right would love to deal with everyone?

Whose defending Trump - it is about using Trump, or anyone, including children, to further an agenda of hatred against a person or government. It's pathetic.

Are you for real? This is happening, regardless of who sits in the white house, but we know this was a policy introduced and enforced by both trump and his lackey Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, who also has a long standing history of racism and racist actions. You're absolutely mental if you think the outrage is to score points against trump; the outrage is about the humanity of the situation.

FoH with this "agenda of hatred". You should be ashamed to even write that in this context.

When that picture is on the front of Time magazine its an issue as is the intention

It's imagery. The story isn't a magazine cover, or a jacket, it's that over 3000 children have been separated from their parents for absolutely no reason, and the US government has both no idea, or intention of reuniting them.

Nah, it's just a way for Trump supporters to ignore the big issue.

It's a classic sign of someone conttinuing to argue a point after realising they are in the wrong, they'll focus on the inconsequential arguments to salvage their point while desperately avoiding looking at the big picture.

This cover is a metaphor, it doesn't matter if the girl is from a stock photo or not. It does not change that state sanctioned child abuse is going on and has been going on for months. Focusing on a cover is simply diversionary tactics and it doesn't change the fact that people are defending this state sanctioned child abuse.

or the whole hue and cry is just another sorry attempt by those who backed a loser in the election to discredit what is turning out to be a very successful presidency

Let's be real here, you're as much of a Trump Supporter as I am. If everyone loved Trump on this forum you'd be on the opposite side.

All this is just to get a reaction so go ahead and defend child abuse, you're not getting what you want from me.

you are just demeaning actual child abuse to have a go a trump, who you incorrectly predicted would not last 3 months

and yet here he is visiting your own country as a hero, another thing you got wrong, just like you got his election wrong


a veritable hattrick a la Harry Kane

:laugh2:

Yes Yesterday

on CNN HD.
